The majority of purpose-built race cars are offered only in white. They get wrapped, they get raced, they get crashed, they get repaired and sent back out to race again.
Over half of the 150+ Radical race cars that leave the Cambridgeshire, UK each year are also ordered in white for this reason. However, not all racers want to follow the trend, and for this reason Radical offers seven different colours for bodywork, with an eighth ‘bespoke’ option that caught the attention of back-to-back Gulf Radical Cup Champion, Alex Bukh anstov.
Bukhanstov decided on a unique ‘Ruby’ colour when ordering his new Radical SR3 XXR in preparation for the 2024/25 season, where he will be defending his title for the third year in a row. It’s currently the only SR3 XXR in this colour although the factory team can offer it for subsequent customers, available to order through Radical’s 30+ global dealers.
Reigning Gulf Radical Cup champion Bukhanstov ordered his Ruby SR3 XXR through Radical UAE, operated by GulfSport, one of the longest-standing members of the Radical Motorsport dealer network. Celebrated for its racing credibility, much like Bukhanstov, GulfSport is also the back-to-back winner of the Radical Dealer of the Year award for the Rest of World region, which spans Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
Headed by father-son duo Barry and Martin Hope, and based at the FIA-sanctioned Dubai Autodrome, GulfSport has long been a focal point in the Gulf’s motorsport community.
